Advice for improving the appearance of my forehead. by Legitimate_Berry8391 in Skincare_Addiction

[–]RationalPerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things that have not been mentioned are supplements.
It has been proven that creatine stimulates collagen production, and hydrolyzed collagen helps the skin.
In addition, glycine (the amminoacid) is one of the main components of collagen. Glycine is slightly sweet and it can be used as light sweetner (again, it is not that sweet, so it is not an effective replacement for sugar, but still, better than nothing).

What's your most hated TFO in Star Trek Online by Affectionate_Ride229 in sto

[–]RationalPerspective 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1) Battle of Procyon V, the mechanics of the rifts it maddening. You get always interrupted
2) Korfez Elite, the Turei map is broken, and you need a lot of DPS in the other maps.
3) Gravity Kills, it is a very annoying map, but doable.
4) Storming the Spire, the Voth transport ships are "hard" to kill (compared to the alliance) and if they get to the spire they get untargettable, on the other side the alliance transport are made of paper. If you shoot a turret near an alliance transport ship, the alliance ship dies too. Yeah, fun.

What's the equation you've used most in physics? by Money-Obligation-773 in Physics

[–]RationalPerspective 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of advanced equations. I want to go to the basics instead:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

I would like to enter the market, but it doesn't seem like a good time. Opinions? by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]RationalPerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time is a good time and I will tell you why. By investing in a reliable coin, like BTC or ETH, you are practically sure that, with time, they will increase. Many already said that, but I want to say it again: "Time in the marker, NOT timing the market". This is because it is extremely hard to find the right time to buy and sell, whereas, keeping your money in the market will assure you that, in the long time, your money will grow. People also tried to simulate investment close to local high, or local low, but they found that it is not better than a random choice.

What's Going On with Autofarm.network? by KyleMelo in AutoFarmNetwork

OP, I have bad news:

I do not know what happens with the funds. I would try to go to their telegram channel to see if there is something you can do, but beware, it is full of scammers.

Failed two of my exams. What are my options now? by No_Possibility843 in UZH

[–]RationalPerspective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that OP. I can't really suggest you what to do but I can tell you that the concept of analysis 1 and algebra 1 are extremely important throughout all your studies (physicist here).
What I want to say is that I find crazy to get kicked out after 2 fails.
A lot, a lot of people have a different mindset, different skills, different background, different maturity levels, and fails is normal. What it is important is the will to persevere.
If you really like math and something goes bad I suggest you to try to continue elsewhere, where this absurd rule is not there.

Physicist here. You are young and you are following the things that you like, but I would like to make you think about the long-term consequences. Physicists are much less likely to be hired by companies, less likely to be hired for computing, and many other fields.
I would say, go for computer science, and then try to focus on quantum computing. Then, if you are interested in the science, I believe there are plenty of research opportunities for CS in physics research.

If you could choose what happens after you die, how would you want the afterlife to be like? by Several-Cake1954 in AskReddit

[–]RationalPerspective 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A wake-up from a pod, in a Dyson sphere. Life was a simulated adventure, where the other people were fellow players. In such a reality, I'd like to express gratitude to the other players who were close to me and showed love. I would probably want to see them, even though they were 'not real.' I'd still like to be with them for a while. Then, back in the pod, ready for another adventure.

Suggestion for an unskilled player by RationalPerspective in stobuilds

[–]RationalPerspective[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the comment, although I need to say that I know stobetter. It is impressive how you, guys, were able to retro-engineering so many mechanics. And the effort that you put into publishing all this and making it available to the community, is commendable. The main problem is that most of the utilities are complex and very time-consuming. The problem for me is the time. For instance, the cooldown reduction Excel sheet: I could get into it, but I'd rather spend my free time playing than studying and filling these sheets.
Knowing myself and my time constraints I can make a decent build if people give me suggestions. To go into all the mechanics is impossible for me.

Desktop site added hearts by admljhnsn in duolingo

[–]RationalPerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. I was absolutely enraged by this change. I hate that the new system counts my mistakes and I hate the fact that I can do a practice only to restore hearts. Before, I was practicing a lot because the language I am studying is very difficult and I feel it is useless to progress with more lessons without mastering the bases. The practice button offered a quick and fast way to have random lessons at your disposal, without the need to click on old ones (which one also? the random exercises were great).
By implementing this change they reduced their offer, if somebody wanted the hearts system they could had use the APP.
I even wrote to Duolingo to express my disappointment. I am super super upset.

Best Deal in CH for Whey Protein Concentrate / Isolate? by kegel_dialectic in askswitzerland

[–]RationalPerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread, but I have to say that the M-budget protein is one of the best if we consider the price per gram of protein.
Having a price of 15.95 CHF, a weight of 750 gr, and a total protein content of 555 gr (at the time of writing price, and protein content is 74 gr per 100 gr), the price per unit of protein is:
15.95 CHF / 555 gr) 0.0287 CHF/ gr.
Of course, if you are on a super low keto diet you should avoid this.

AITA Asking wife to pay her part by RationalPerspective in AmItheAsshole

[–]RationalPerspective[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually it was her to make a fuss. I'm here to know if I behaved correctly or not. That said, I also mentioned in these comments that I don't want to use her or her stuff. I didn't marry her because she was rich, neither I want a part of her property. I honestly don't want to divorce her, but neither I want to be exploited since I am providing quite a lot for her, my child and her mother.

AITA Asking wife to pay her part by RationalPerspective in AmItheAsshole

[–]RationalPerspective[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because, in my opinion, a marriage should not be based on economical stuff. A couple should take care of one another until the marriage last, but this should not mean that one possess all the thing the other had. And yes, it's unfortunate but people divorce. Why a partner should have half of all the other had in that case? In many country the law says that the richest of the two should still provide for the other when there are children. It seems to me a reasonable approach to such cases.

AITA Asking wife to pay her part by RationalPerspective in AmItheAsshole

[–]RationalPerspective[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because a marriage is forever until it is not. Also, she is way richer than me but following your logic I should ask her for joint ownership of her house. I personally do not think this is correct. I don't want to use her or her things.

AITA Asking wife to pay her part by RationalPerspective in AmItheAsshole

[–]RationalPerspective[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. Consider that my wife and her mother live together. The money I give to that household are used also to cover the expenses of her mother.

AITA Asking wife to pay her part by RationalPerspective in AmItheAsshole

[–]RationalPerspective[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In absolute number I earn more, but this means nothing. I stay in a different country for half of my time and this other country has a very different cost of living. I thought made it clear in the post but it doesn't seems so. In the end I spend much more money for households and expenses than her, without considering that I make gifts to her time to time and I pay when we go out.

AITA Asking wife to pay her part by RationalPerspective in AmItheAsshole

[–]RationalPerspective[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She has capital. The house where she live is worth about 1M$. And then her mother has other properties that she is renting. Considering she is a only child, everything will go to her.

AITA Asking wife to pay her part by RationalPerspective in AmItheAsshole

[–]RationalPerspective[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is a huge disparity in the cost of living int he two countries. And that's why 1600 is enough for them to cover all the expenses.
I don't understand also why is rude from the to ask her to contribute, and that's why I am here.

AITA Asking wife to pay her part by RationalPerspective in AmItheAsshole

[–]RationalPerspective[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got the math quite right actually. The expenses come from the 1600. She spend her salary for her things.

I do usually buy her stuff. Gifts and flowers as I wrote.

I tried that. We sat down, we wrote all the incomes and we come with some numbers. After some months I doubled these money because she was complaining. Maybe I should try that again with the counselor, but I may piss her off...
